After the very complete debate concerning the miscounted vote
in ballot b08 occured on Friday October 15th, during the
election for 1 year term at the ICANN Board, the NC resolved
to vote on the following motion:

Do you agree that the DNSO secretariat asks by email
the Names Council members to confirm that their ballot b08
as cast was true and correct.
It is expected that eighteen (18) members will confirm true and
correct ballots, and the nighteenth will state that
his vote is not true and not correct, and provide the correction.

This is the record of answers received during the NC telecon:

Dennis Jennings (ccTLD) - agree
Patricio Poblete (ccTLD) - agree
Nigel Roberts (ccTLD) - abstention
Chuck Gomes (gTLD) - agree
Tony Harris (ISPCP) - absent at time of vote
Hirofumi Hotta (ISPCP) - agree
Michael Schneider (ISPCP) - agree (*)
Theresa Swinehart (Business) - agree
Masanobu Katoh (Business) - abstention
Philip Sheppard (Business) - agree
Ken Stubbs (Registrar) - agree
Richard Lindsay (Registrar) - agree (Ken Stubbs, proxy)
Erica Roberts (Registrar) - agree
Ted Shapiro (IPC) - agree
Caroline Chicoine (IPC) - agree
Victoria Carrington (IPC) - agree
Raul Echeberria (NCDNH) - absent at time of vote
Kathryn Kleiman (NCDNH) - oppose (**)
Youn Jung Park (NCDNH) - abstention
(*) "The background to this: up to now I was assuming that
the second message had the purpose of voting whereby
the wrong candidate was marked. If this had been the case I
would have considered it a valid vote and would not have
agreed to a repetition. The way Dennis presented it
however the second message was only meant to be a reply
for Elisabeth which never had the purpose of voting. The
NC-member concerned has also confirmed this version.
In light of the facts as described I share the opinion
that this is a miscounting rather than a selection fault
which justifies recounting and repeating the election as of
the relevant round of voting." (Michael Schneider)
(**) "It is my position that we should return to the beginning
of Election 3 and conduct it with independent scrutiny
so that the public will see it as we see it -- above
board and clearly verifiable." (Kathryn Kleiman)

The Names Council resolved to adopt the motion.

Action 1:

After the NC telecon, within the next half an hour,
the secretariat will email to the NC members the b08 ballot
for clarification. The NC members are expected to answer
within 3 hours, before 21:00 CET.

Action 2:

If all 19 answers are received, the secretariat will
calculate the results of b08 modified by one member,
and send this results to council@dnso.org list.
Then the secretariat will prepare the next ballot,
b11 (the numbers b09 and b10 will not be reused to avoid
any confusion). The NC will have 17 hours approximately
until Oct 19th, 14:00 CET, to vote. The secretariat
will calculate b11 and give results before the NC
telecon starts at 15:00 CET. Every ballot b11 will
be aknowledged with a full copy to a voting member.
The vote will continue during the NC telecon on Tuesday
Oct 19th, 15:00 CET, the same phone number and passcode.

If all 19 answers are not received at 21:00 CET,
the secretariat will send a reminder to the council@dnso.org
list, and it is expected that within a short time
the missing replies will arrive.
All 19 answers are necessary to proceed.
